Asan'ny Apostoly 7
1 Hoe i talèm-pisoroñey: To v’zao?
And the chief priest said, “Are then these things so?”
2 Hoe t’i Stefana: Ry longo, naho ry aba, Inao! Ie mbe te Mesopotamia añe taolo’ te nimoneñe e Haraña t’i Abraàme raen-tikañe le niheo ama’e t’i Andrianañahare Rengèñey,
And he said, “Men, brothers, and fathers, listen! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,
3 le nanoa’e ty hoe: Misitaha an-tane’o naho an-drolongo’o, mimoaha an-tane hatoroko azo.
and He said to him, Go forth out of your land, and out of your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.
4 Aa le niakats’ i tane Kaldea añe re nivotrake e Harane. Ie añe, naho fa vilasy ty rae’e, le nampiavote’e homb’an-tane fimoneña’ areo atoy henaneo.
Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from there, after the death of his father, He removed him to this land wherein you now dwell,
5 Fe tsy nimea’e lova ama’e, ndra ty tane handiam-pandia’e, ie mbetsiterake, le nampitama’e te hatolots’aze naho amo tarira’e hanonjohy azeo ho fanañañe izay.
and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him—he having no child.
6 Hoe ty nitsaran’ Añahare, t’ie: Ho renetane an-tanen’ ambahiny o tarira’eo, naho hondevozeñe, vaho ho volevolèñe efa-jato taoñe.
And God spoke thus, that his seed will be sojourning in a strange land, and they will cause it to serve, and will do it evil [for] four hundred years.
7 Fe ho zakaeko ze tane mañondevo iareo, hoe t’i Andrianañahare, ie añe, le hiavotse iereo, hitoroñe ahy ami’ty toetse toy.
And the nation whom they will serve I will judge, said God; And after these things they will come forth and will do Me service in this place.
8 Le natolo’e aze ty fañinam-pisavarañe naho nisamake Isaka re le nisavare’e ami’ty andro fahavalo, naho nisamake Iakobe t’Isaka vaho i androanavy folo ro’amby rey t’Iakobe.
And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begot] Jacob, and Jacob—the twelve patriarchs;
9 Ie nikirañe Iosefe i androanavy rey, le naleta’ iereo ho ondevo Egipte añe. Fe tama’e t’i Andrianañahare
and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
10 nandrombak’ aze amy ze fonga haoreañe naho tinolo’e hihitse naho fañisohañe añatrefa’ i Farao mpanjaka’ i Egipte le nanoe’e mpamandroñe hifehe i Egipte vaho o añ’ anjomba’e iabio.
and delivered him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he set him—governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 Nandramban-tane Egipte naho Kanana amy zao ty san-kasalikoañe vaho ty hasotriam-bey le tsy nahaoniñe mahakama o roaentikañeo.
And there came a scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
12 Ie jinanji’ Iakobe te aman-tsako ty Egipte, le nampihitrife’e mb’eo o roaentikañeo amy valoha’ey.
and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
13 Ie amy faha roey le nampahafohim-batañ’ amo rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe vaho nampandrendreheñe i Farao o longo’ Iosefeo.
and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed to Pharaoh,
14 Aa le nampisangitrife’ Iosefe t’Iakobe rae’e naho o longo’eo, i fitom-polo-lime amby rey.
and Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
15 Le nañavelo mb’e Egipte mb’eo t’Iakobe vaho nihomake, ie naho o roaentikañeo,
and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
16 le nasese mb’e Sekema añe, ie nirohoteñe amy lonake vinili’ i Abraàme drala amo ana’ i Hamora nte Sekemaio.
and they were carried over into Shechem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Shechem.
17 Aa naho fa an-titotse ty andro nampitaman’ Añahare i nifantà’e amy Abraàmey, le nitombo naho nangetseketseke Egipte añe ondatio.
And according as the time of the promise was drawing near, which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Loneak’amy zao ty mpanjaka hifehe i Egipte tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
until another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
19 Ie ty nañaramamo ondatin-tikañeo am-pamañahiañe naho famorekekeañe, naho nampiboake o ajajamena’ iareoo tsy hahatam-beloñe.
this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, that they might not live;
20 Toly henane zay t’i Mosè, le nisoa vintañe am-pivazohoan’ Añahare, vaho nitaiàñe telo volañe an-trañon-drae’e ao.
in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up [for] three months in the house of his father;
21 Aa ie niotañe, rinambe’ ty anak’ ampela’ i Farao naho nibeize’e ho ana’e,
and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
22 le naòke amy ze hene hilala’ o nte Egipteo t’i Mosè vaho ni-fanalolahy an-tsara naho fitoloñañe.
and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
23 Ie fa ho efa-polo taoñe t’i Mosè, le niheo añ’arofo’e ty hitilike o longo’e ana’ Israeleo.
And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
24 Ie nioni’e te nisamporeraheñe tsy aman-tali’e ty raike, le nañolots’ aze, namale fate i niforekekeñey vaho nañoho-doza amy nte-Egiptey.
and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck the Egyptian;
25 Natao’e ho rendre’o longo’eo ty fandrombahan’ Añahare am-pità’e, f’ie tsy nahafohiñe.
and he was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
26 Ie niloakandro, niheo am’iereo mb’eo re nanjo ty nifandrapak’ aly, le nimanea’e fifampilongoañe ami’ty hoe: O lahireo, mpiroahalahy nahareoo; Akore te mifampijoy?
On the succeeding day, also, he showed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers, why do you do injustice to one another?
27 Fe nanafasiotse aze i namofoke i rañe’eiy, nanao ty hoe: Ia ty nañory azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay?
And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Hamono ahy v’iheo, hambañe amy nanoa’o i nte Egipte omaley?
Do you wish to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Ty amy entañe zay, nitriban-day t’i Mosè naho nirenetane e Midiana añe vaho nisamak’ anadahy roe.
And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons,
30 Ie nimodo ty efa-polo taoñe, le nisodehañe ama’e an-dratraratram-bohi-Sinaiy añe ty anjeli’ Iehovà ami’ty lel’afo an-drongoñe.
and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai [the] Messenger of the LORD, in a flame of fire of a bush,
31 Ie nioni’ i Mosè zay le hinarahara’e i nizoeñey; le nañarivoa’e hahaisake vaho nivovo ama’e ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD to him,
32 Izaho o Andrianañaharen-droae’ areoo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Abraàme, naho Isaka vaho Iakobe. Aa le ninevenevetse t’i Mosè tsy nahavany niisake.
I [am] the God of your fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses having become terrified, did not dare behold,
33 Le hoe t’ Iehovà tama’e: Afaho o hana am-pandia’oo fa masiñe o toetse ijohaña’oo.
and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood is holy ground;
34 Toe niisako ty falovilovia’ ondatiko e Egipt’aoo, naho tsinanoko ty toreo’ iareo vaho nizotso hañaha iareo. Antao arè, fa hahitriko mb’e Egipte mb’eo irehe.
seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send you to Egypt.
35 Fe kiniho’iareo ami’ty hoe t’i Mosè: Ia ty nañory azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay? Ie ty nafanton’ Añahare ampità’ i anjely niboak’ ama’e amy rongoñeiy ho mpifehe naho mpandrombake iareo.
This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge? This one God sent [as] a ruler and a redeemer, by the hand of [the] Messenger who appeared to him in the bush;
36 Indatiy ty nampiavotse iareo naho nanao halatsàñe naho viloñe tsi-tantane Egipte ao naho amy Riake Menay vaho am-patrambey ao efa-polo taoñe.
this one brought them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;
37 Ie i Mosè nitaroñe amo nte-Israeleo ty hoe: Hampitroaren’ Añahare ho anahareo ty mpitoky hambañe amako boak’amo longo’ areoo.
this is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel: The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet out of your brothers, like to me, Him will you hear.
38 Ie ty nitraok’ amy anjeliy amy fivori-bey am-patram-bey añey, niharo amy anjely nisaontsy ama’e am-bohi-Sinaiy vaho taman-droaentikañe; ie ty nandrambe o fetse veloñe nitaroña’e aman-tikañeo.
This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the Messenger who is speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers who received the living oracles to give to us;
39 Fe, nizeharen-droaentika naho nasiotsio’ iareo, vaho nitolike mb’Egipte ty arofo’ iareo
to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 le nanao ty hoe amy Arone: Andranjio ndrañahare hiaolo anay, f’i Mosè nañavotse anay añ’Egipte izay, amoea’ay ty nizò aze!
saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who will go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened to him.
41 Nitsene bania iereo henane zay naho nibanabana soroñe amy sarey, vaho nirebek’ amy sata-pità’ iareoy.
And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,
42 Aa le niambohoan’ Añahare naho nitolora’e ty hitoroñe i fifamorohotan-dindìñey, ie pinatetse amy bokem-pitokiy: O ry anjomba’ Israeleo, nañenga biby linenta vaho soroñe amako efa-polo taoñe am-patram-bey añe v’inahareo?
and God turned, and gave them up to do service to the host of Heaven, according as it has been written in the scroll of the Prophets: Did you offer slain beasts and sacrifices to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Te mone nitarazoe’ areo ty kivoho’ i Moloka, naho ty vasia’ i Refane ndrañahare’areoy, o samposampon-draha namboare’ areo ho fitalahoañeo. Aa le haseseko mb’an-kalo’ i Bavele añe nahareo.
And you took up the dwelling place of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan—the figures that you made to worship them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.
44 Taman-droaen-tikañe an-dratraratra añe i kivohom-pitaroñañey, namboareñe do’e amy nisaontsie’e amy Mosèy te hamboare’e hamban-tsata amy niisa’ey.
The Dwelling Place of the Testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He directed, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;
45 Le nampizilihe’ o roae’ay nandrambe azeo izay mindre amy Josoa, ie tinava’ iareo amo kilakila’ ndaty nasiotsion’ Añahare aolon-dahara’ iareoo i Taney; ie izay ampara’ i Davide;
which also our fathers having in succession received, brought in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David,
46 ie nanjò fañisohañe añatrefan’ Añahare, le nihalaly ty hahaoniña’e toetse himoneñan’ Añahare’ Iakobe.
who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
47 Fe i Selomò ty nandranjy anjomba ho aze.
and Solomon built Him a house.
48 Toe tsy miambesatse ami’ty nanoem-pitàñe t’i Andindimoneñe, amy tsara’ i mpitokiy:
But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
49 Fitobohako i likerañey, fitongoàn-tomboko ty tane toy. anjomba manakore arè ty ho ranjie’ areo ho ahiko? Hoe t’Iehovà. Ke, aia ty toetse hitofàko?
Heaven [is] My throne, And the earth My footstool, What house will you build to Me? Says the LORD; Or what [is] the place of My rest?
50 Tsy ty tañako hao ty nanao ze he’e zao?
Has My hand not made all these things?
51 Ry gan-katoke tsy sinavatse añ’arofo ndra an-dravembia. Zehare’ areo nainai’e i Arofo Masiñey manahak’ an-droae’ areo avao.
You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also you;
52 Ia amo mpitokio ty tsy nisamporerahen-droae’ areo? Nañohofa’ iareo loza o nitoky ty fitotsaha’ i Vañoñeio, i nafote’ areo naho vinono’ areo anianiy;
which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,
53 iereo fa nandrambe i Hake nafè’ o anjelioy, f’ie tsy nambenañe.
who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
54 Ie jinanji’iereo i hoe zay, le niromotse añ’arofo vaho nampikodrì-nife.
And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
55 Ie ka, lifotse i Arofo Masiñey, niandrandra nitalake i likerañey vaho nahaisake ty engen’ Añahare naho Iesoà nijohañe am-pitàn-kavanan’ Añahare ey.
and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked steadfastly to the sky, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 Heheke, hoe re, Treako te misokake o likerañeo vaho mijohañe ampitàn-kavanan’ Añahare eo i Ana’ondatiy.
and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
57 F’ie nipoña-koràke, nanentsen-dravembia vaho fonga nitrao-pañoridañe aze,
And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
58 le naronjeronje’ iareo alafe’ i rovay, naho nametsa-bato ama’e vaho napo’ o valolombeloñeo an-tombo’ ty dogalahy atao Saole eo o sarimbo’ iareoo.
and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him]—and the witnesses put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul—
59 Ie nitolom-pametsam-bato amy Stefana, le nikaihe’e ty hoe: Ry Iesoà Talè, rambeso ty troko.
and they were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”;
60 Ie tafatongaleke, le pinaza’e am-piarañanañañe ty hoe: O Talè, ko tiñea’o am’iareo ty hakeo toy. Ie nanao izay le nirotse.
and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, “LORD, may You not lay to them this sin”; and having said this, he fell asleep.
